Drew J. Grzadzieleski

It is with great sadness that the family of Drew Jordan Grzadzieleski, announces his passing on June 3, 2018, at the age of 29 years.  Drew Jordan Grzadzieleski was born September 10, 1988, in Grand Forks, the son of Mike and Ruth Grzadzieleski, and was raised in Grand Forks.  Drew’s greatest joy in life is Emma Rose, age 9.  Emma loved her time with her Daddy and would cling to his every move.   His beautiful daughter will miss him more than can be expressed. Drew’s gentle nature didn’t really fit his frame and deep voice. His witty humor made him fun to be around and his consideration for others made him a good friend and partner. He was thoughtful, courteous, and had the best laugh. He was loyal and always tried to make time for family.  He was known in high school for playing basketball at Red River High School, and continued to play as a hobby. His athleticism was almost better than his sarcasm, and his movie quoting skills are admirable. Most people who knew Drew would describe him as funny and charming. He had a huge heart and in 2012, he met Layne. They dated, and then moved in together, and in 2015, they got engaged.  Drew received his business degree at NDSU.  Drew and Layne moved to Bismarck in December 2017, when Drew got his dream job at Eide Bailly Accounting.  Drew will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Mike and Ruth Grzadzieleski, his daughter, Emma Rose Patnaude, his grandmothers, Frances Lucille Pokrzywinski, and Alice Bridget Grzadzieleski, his fiancé, Layne Dungan, and many numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.  His brother, Adam Michael Grzadzieleski, preceded him in death in 2014. Funeral Arrangements are being handled by the Amundson Funeral Home in Grand Forks.  Visitation will be Friday, June 8, 2018, from 12:00 P.M. to 1:00 P.M.  The funeral will follow at 1:00 P.M. in the funeral home
